[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you nailed it. Not only does she want to take away the salaries, health and pension benefits (busting unions would not-so-coincidentally help with this), she wants her heroes on the Supreme Court to reverse "Obamacare" so these workers will really be up the creek without the paddle. Then - at last - she'd feel like she was doing better than someone else.[/quote]

Not the PP you're responding to, but this makes no sense.  Metro employees have very generous health benefits, subsidized by taxpayers in DC, MD and VA.  Obamacare isn't aimed at them.

The PP is over the top in her reflexive hatred of all things union.  Let's try to be better than that, OK?  There's no sense pretending rapidly escalating pension benefits (which are no longer the norm in the private sector, and are being phased out of public sector employment), the cost of healthcare, and the inability to address these issues due to the peculiarities of the interstate compact that created WMATA aren't significant factors in Metro's performance issues.
